Motorbike holiday in the Zillertal - Gerlos Alpine Road

Curves, heights & quiet grounds

The Eastern Alps are at your feet on a motorbike holiday in the Zillertal. Motorbike tours take you from the picturesque valley to dream Alpine passes - just as we expect from Tyrol! Winding dream roads meet gentle passes, wildly romantic valleys meet unique natural backdrops - such as the Stilupgrund in the Zillertal Alps Nature Park, the Zillergrund and Zemmgrund or the Tuxertal. Whether serpentines or tranquil grounds - when motorcycling in the Zillertal, you will experience pure cornering bliss and alpine originality.

Highlights for your motorbike holiday in the Zillertal

  • Gerlos Alpine Road with 69 km of driving pleasure between Tyrol & Salzburg
  • Zillertal high road with panoramic views & alpine inns
  • Original side valleys: Zillergrund, Stilupgrund & Tuxertal

Between panoramic roads & idyllic nature

Austria's gentlest pass road, the Gerlos Alpine Road, is of course at the top of our bucket list for a motorbike holiday in the Zillertal. 69 km of riding pleasure and 22 hairpin bends between Tyrol and Salzburg, with its 12 km long centrepiece from Krimml up to the Pinzgauer Höhe. Here you can enjoy the wow view of the Krimml waterfalls.

For those who like things more unspoilt, discover the dead-end roads in the Zillergrund or Tuxertal - between unspoilt nature and tranquil mountain lakes. Motorcycling in the Zillertal means pure Alpine diversity and so you can also head to the great classics from here: the Dolomites, Großglockner or the legendary Silvretta High Alpine Road. Because from the Zillertal, you can be travelling in all directions and on dream tours through Tyrol, Salzburg, South Tyrol and Bavaria in no time at all. Whether you're looking for the thrill of the hairpin bends or Tyrolean cuisine in cosy Alpine inns - you're sure to find your personal motorbike highlight in the Zillertal.

If you're a real Zillertaler, your name is Kröll and you can ride a motorbike. At least that's what I say :) We have so many beautiful mountains and countless bends on our doorstep, enough to share with our guests. Which, of course, we love to do.

Whether it's the Erzberg or the "Romaniacs", my territory is "off road". Instead, my wife Melanie is "on the road", travelling alone and with guests. So it's no surprise that we both got to know each other while riding our motorbikes. A joy shared is a joy doubled.
